The happy Success of the Parliaments Army, at Newport & other places.  
THat you may be mindful to send me the Printed news, I will as oft as I can acquaint you with what is material that I know to be truth, for we have too many Lies abroad in this licentious age: Nothing remarkable hath passed between the two armies in Northamptonshire until Thursday November 2. when betimes in the morning by order from Major General Skipton, the Horse forces in Northampton, or rather some troops of them were drawn forth to fall on the enemy's Quarter that lay most remote to the North, while 3. regiments of his Horse, viz. Colonel Midletons' Regiment, Colonel Harvies, & Colonel Turner's were sent out to fall on the South East part of their Quarters, for the Kings Armylyes quartered at the least 10. miles in distance one from another, the Northampton Forces happened on the Lord of Northamptons' Regiment about Stows, 6. miles from the Town, set on them by break of day, and slew 3. or 4. of them, and took 14. prisoners all horsemen, one a Coronet to the Earl of Northampton, & lost not one of their own: the London Regiments assaulted them at the same hour at Alderton, a mile from Geaston, they slew 15 on the ground, took 22 prisoners, and many horses which were left behind, the riders shifting for themselves better on foot into Geaston Park & other hedges, so that a horse-fair was kept at Newport that day, and horses sold good cheap for ready money, we lost but one man in this service. The Enemy to revenge this, did march all Friday night, & on Saturday morning, Novemb. 4. did set on our Quarters at Oulny, we first took 2. of their Scouts, by which we perceived the approach of our danger: for their body of horse, a very strong one too fell into the Town upon us, & charged us resolutely, & were received as stoutly by our men, until we could orderly retreat to the Bridge, which with ease we made good against them, intending to keep them in play until our body came up to us from Newport 3 miles off, but they had no list to stay so long but some few faced us at the Bridge, whilst the rest retreated back, and by the way some of them were met by the Northampton forces, who hearing they were gone towards our quarters sent out 7 or 8 troops of horse & about 500 foot they took of the enemy a Capt of a Troop of horse, one Cap. Geerye a Huntingtonshire man & a great malignant, his cornet, but not his colours (they have the trick to pull them of & throw the staff one way, & the Colours an other) they took also his trumpeter & 9 other troopers which are all Prisoners in the town.   

Post script.  
THe Enemy falling on our Quarters, at Oulny, had a purpose to have charged resolutely through the Town, and been Mrs. of the Bridge, at the south end next Newport, but our Musketers were before them, & saluted them with two volley of shot, which drove them back, and by this time Colonel Harvey, had drawn an indifferent body of Horse together, who came bravely on the Enemy, but were by the great numbers driven bacl, we slew of them on the place, about 8 or 9 and they slew 5 of ours, many wounded on both sides; It being a very hot encounter for the time not exceeding half an hour, they got into the Town, and in their lodgings took two Foot Colours, and two Drums, we slew of theirs besides the other, a Captain of a Troop of Horse, and took his Cornet with his Colours, the Cornet desperately wounded, cannot live if he be not dead; They took of ours 15 Footmen, & we twelve Horsemen of theirs, the loss was something equal, & there was much mercy in it, that they were stopped before they came to the Bridge, for had they been Mrs. of it, they had divided us from our Army at Newport as they did. a Troop of our Regiment that lay in a village and could not come at us, but were constrained to get to Northampton, so that ours & the Northampton forces have taken and slain near 100 of others this week with the loss of 6 men, and 15 Prisoners, no Officer as I can hereof; The Enemy retreated to Towcester, where they are with the greatest body, they have both horse and foot; if more company comes down we shall give them another visit I hope, for we have good encouragement to action. God not being wanting to our weak endeavours, but hat followed us with his Blessings, the continuation whereof is the Prayer of  
Yours etc.
